It is 2014 in Iraq. Life couldn't be better for sixteen-year-old Yasmeen as her family is able to buy a big new house. Things are looking good. Then ISIS invades Mosul.  Yasmeen's Shia family barely escapes a close death while Yasmeen gets captured by terrorists who execute her uncle right before her eyes. Yasmeen is sold to an ISIS fighter as a slave and must relinquish her innocence in order to save her three new Yazidi friends who are punished with starvation for attempting to help her escape after failing to kill her captor. Two years later, Yasmeen is reunited with her family in the United States. Her parents are so happy to be reunited with Yasmeen that they fail to see the state of depression that she has fallen into after two years of slavery under the ISIS terrorist regime in Mosul and the torments that she had to endure. Now faced with a new life without the luxuries that she had grown accustomed to in Iraq before ISIS, Yasmeen must learn to survive in a society that both fears and hates her and must overcome the horrors of the past in an attempt to find herself again. Powerfully written by Iraqi immigrant, Saif A. Ahmed, YASMEEN is a dramatic coming of age drama in a time of war.
